    About this ebook

    In "Eve", Petrina Brown explores the influence of religion and folklore on sex and childbirth and their impact on women. A natural storyteller, she has researched customs and ceremonies from around the world, revealing extraordinary advice that has been followed for fertility, contraception and abortion. In the final chapter she relates celebrities experiences of childbirth, both mothers and fathers. Eve is an insightful and compelling journey through women's history - from prehistoric Egypt to the present day.
